The Song of Songs

2

B 2 Let him kiss me with kisses of his mouth!
More delightful is your love than wine!

3

Your name spoken is a spreading perfume -
that is why the maidens love you.

4

Draw me!-
D We will follow you eagerly!
B Bring me, O king, to your chambers.
D With you we rejoice and exult,
we extol your love; it is beyond wine:
how rightly you are loved!

5

B 3 I am as dark-but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem -
As the tents of Kedar,
as the curtains of Salma.

6

4 Do not stare at me because I am swarthy,
because the sun has burned me.
My brothers have been angry with me;
they charged me with the care of the vineyards:
my own vineyard I have not cared for.

7

B 5 Tell me, you whom my heart loves,
where you pasture your flock,
where you give them rest at midday,
Lest I be found wandering
after the flocks of your companions.

8

G If you do not know,
O most beautiful among women,
Follow the tracks of the flock
and pasture the young ones
near the shepherds' camps.

Chapter 1

9

G 6 To the steeds of Pharaoh's chariots
would I liken you, my beloved:

10

Your cheeks lovely in pendants,
your neck in jewels.

11

We will make pendants of gold for you,
and silver ornaments.

12

B 7 For the king's banquet
my nard gives forth its fragrance.

13

8 My lover is for me a sachet of myrrh
to rest in my bosom.

14

9 My lover is for me a cluster of henna
from the vineyards of Engedi.

15

G 10 Ah, you are beautiful, my beloved,
ah, you are beautiful; your eyes are doves!

16

B 11 Ah, you are beautiful, my lover -
yes, you are lovely.
Our couch, too, is verdant;

17

the beams of our house are cedars,
our rafters, cypresses.
